Digital video camera with a retractable data connector

ABSTRACT

A digital video camera may include a digital video image sensor for capturing digital video footage to be stored on an internal memory. The digital video image sensor and internal memory may be housed in a camera body. A retractable arm having a data connector may be attached to the camera body. The arm can be extended from and retracted into the camera body, while the data connector can be used to transfer digital video footage to an external device, such as a computer. The data connector may conform to a standard for connecting peripheral devices, such as the Universal Serial Bus (USB) standard or the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 1394 (IEEE 1394) standard.

FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of an digital video camera with a retractable data connector showing our new design;

FIG. 2 is a rear elevational view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a right side elevational view thereof; and,

FIG. 4 is a bottom plan view thereof.

The portions of broken lines in all figures illustrate contours of a camera and form no part of the claimed design. 

The ornamental design for an digital video camera with a retractable data connector, as shown and described.
